Better way to create project?
I just put my bin folder in subversion. I am a new user, so maybe I do
not do things in the right way. So I would like to know if there is a
better way to do things.
I moved my bin folder to bin.old.
I created a bin folder in my repository.
I did a checkout of the bin folder.
I moved the files from bin.old to bin.
I removed bin.old.
I did a svn add.
I did a svn commit.
This are quit a few steps. Is there a better way to do this?

Multiple ways the cat can be skinned, but in-place import is for anytime you want to import the contents of an unversioned directory and turn that directory into a working copy, which is what he wanted to do.

Or even easier, just import the top level directory, delete the
original, and check the whole thing back out (or rename the original
until you are sure it worked). The in-place approach is for things
where you don't want to delete/move the originals at all.

You can do an in-place import:
